A beauty-studded entertainment program will be the highlight of the PCCM’s (Philippine Chamber of Commerce-Michigan) Red Carpet Gala to be held on Oct. 19, 2012 at the Petruzzello’s Banquet Center in Troy.

The show’s second act is “A Tribute to the Arts” highlighted by “ All That Jazz,” a Broadway number also choreographed by Annabelle and to be sung by Fely Villegas. The Tagumpay Dancers and eight models will do the dance numbers.

The third act is a “Tribute to Motown” with one number to be performed by Ben Sweet on guitar and Rachel Sweet on vocals and guitar and Sabrina Tungol on drums.

The finale, which is a remix of Gloria Gaynor’s “Never Can Say Good-Bye,” will be performed by the all- star cast.

Another highlight of the event will be a silent auction during which valuable items will be on sale.

Proceeds of the fund-raising affair will be used to fund PCCM’s projects, including a scholarship program, the mechanics of which is still being worked out.
